    Beautiful views of the beach. The appetizers were plentiful and excellent. So tasty. They are the star of the show. The entrees were underwhelming, but we were so full from the appetizer, it was fine. The staff were super friendly and the vibe was chill and relaxing. Gorgeous bar and great music too. Definitely recommend for a date or a good friend hang.

    Octopus and tuna appetizers were both very good. The filet of sole in phyllo was rather mediocre and tasted like doughy fish and chips. Service was good and ambiance was very nice.

    Patio is fantastic for sunset. Food was great. Highlights were the big rye tuna and Black Truffle Saganaki. Only thing a little disappointing was the lamb shank - it was just a bit too dry.

    From the moment I arrived the front desk made me feel so welcome. They knew I was celebrating my birthday and walked me right over to the table. This was my first visit at Orla and I will absolutely be coming back. The service and food is top notch. Thank you Orla for the best experience
